Ninh Binh

Today we did the usual up at the crack of dawn to get the train from Hue to Ninh Binh. The Vietnamese trains are narrower than Indian ones but of a similar standard to Indian ones but you cant open the doors whilst on the go. (In fact the attendants actually padlock them shut whilst on the go – which was a bit unnerving when Hahn insisted on showing us where the emergency hammers were to break the windows - just in case!) 9 hours later, a few card games, long chats and a couple of pot noodles we rolled in to Ninh Binh and piled into a car and a tranny van minibus to the hotel for tea and bed.
We had tea at the hotel and a quick drink at the hotel bar then off to bed so we could get off in the morning.
